cost per kWh [RE-wrenches]

[EH Roy]

Matt,

Maintenance costs and equipment replacement costs, for starters. Not many
inverters are going to last 30 years.

Jeff,

But, if I understand the Ca. incentives correctly, the maximum the program
allows with direct refunds and State income tax breaks (except accelerated
depreciation) is 50% of the installed cost. 50% of $00.17 is $00.085, right?
What am I missing?

$7,000/kW installed, a 1kW system will see about .72 kW at the AC bus x 5hr.
Iso x 365 (days/yr.)x 30 (industry standard for PV life and conservative) =
39,420 kWh. 7,000/39,420 = $0.1775/kWh over 30 yr. life. This is w/o
incentives. You can plug in your incentives and install costs and get there.
Here in CA for a business paying PG&E around $0.18/kWh I can deliver
installed PV power AFTER all incentives State and FED. at $0.04/kWh over 30
yr. in most cases with typical install logistics.
